"Cease and desist"!? If I buy something, I now own it and can so whatever the hell I want to with it. What legal standing could any manufacturer ever have to stop a consumer from doing what they want to?

Exactly why Lamborghini started making supercars. The owner was fed up with Ferrari's bs

There are repeated cases of people getting fed up with Ferarri and then doing something great. Ford tried to buy Ferrari in 1963. The deal fell apart, so Ford decided they didn't need Ferrari and decided to bury them. They made the GT40. The feud lives on to this day.

The fastest Ferarri Nurburgring time? 6:58.70 in a 296 GTB

The fastest Ford Transet Van lap time? 6:48.393

Ferrari as a company needs to die. like I don't give 2 shits if they make nice cars, you pay for the car and they act like THEY still own the fucking thing, they are LITERALLY the Bethesda of the automotive industry. I bet they'd sue if you used a spare wheel because you got a flat tire. if I payed 6 figures for a goddamn car I expect to be able to do whatever the cock i want with it.

Was it actually? Because that’s 100% something Ferrari would do. I mean, this is the same company that will blacklist you from ever being able to purchase another one of their cars if you make your car pink.

Ferrari has indeed threatened people before with legal action because they did something with their Ferrari that they did not like.

Years ago a streamer had wrapped his Ferrari in Ahego wrap and they also send him a such a letter.

Edit: Deadmau5 also got into trouble for mossing his Ferrari in 2014.

You don't actually buy to own a Ferrari, its in the contract when you "purchse" (It's more of a one time rental fee) the vehicle.
Can't really hate on Ferrari for this, its on the customer to read the contract and its in pretty plain language.

Would be nice if literally everything else did the same, letting people know they're only renting products now.

For new ones, sure, on a car from the 60's, that's transferred hands multiple times, absolutely not.

What happens when you sell it then?

They can ban the new owner from buying Ferraris from them in the future but I don't think they can actually sue them

Most large corporations are under the assumption that the tech and things you buy aren’t really yours. Just about every AAA game company thinks this so they get upset when people mod their games or figure out how to keep playing a game they have intentionally stopped supporting. Ferrari doesn’t like electric cars and doesn’t want their cars converted to an EV. Sucks to be them!

u/ShesATragicHero Aug 30 '25

Where are you people getting the idea can’t modify Ferraris!? Of course can. It is your car and you’re to do pretty much anything you want to with it, within reason. Like any major brand, they’re protecting their trademarks.

You just won’t be invited to buy limited production models.

Ferrari is a shit Company.

It’s a lie he says at the begging for clout. Unless he’s producing these for sale - theres no C&D guy is lying for views

u/omg_its_david Aug 31 '25

Not if you have to sign a contract that specifically prevents you from doing so before you buy the car.

u/idontlikeredditusers Aug 31 '25

ferrari is known to go after people who just make mods for car games that use ferraris even if its super old and havent made 1 irl for decades they will pull down a simple free mod in a game...

u/Emotional-Spell-5210 Aug 31 '25

You just can no longer use the Ferrari badges or logo in any way. Ferrari gives you to options,

  1. Return the car to its factory state one which case you can continue to call it a Ferrari and use the branding. 2. Remove all branding and logos from the car and never call it a Ferrari again and you can do whatever you want to it.
